A bag tax is a money-grab by politicians, grocers and union honchos
Politicians, grocers, unions and special interest groups that benefit from bag taxes and bag bans want you to believe that they are acting to help the environment and reduce pollution.
That is a smoke-screen. The truth is this is about lining the pockets of these elites at the expense of middle class and working class families.
Take, for example, the recently-enacted California state bag ban, SB-270. It creates a whole series of money transfers from California’s families to special interests.
